Anti-Discrimination

Introduction and Objectives

This course is designed to enable participants to look at their own values in
relation to people who are physically disabled, (older people, gender issues,
sexuality, race, etc) and to move on in terms of valuing difference whilst
gaining an understanding of how people are treated differently because of their
disability, (age, race, sexual preference, class etc.)

their own values.

To explore models of 'care', e.g. medical, social etc.

To examine what barriers exist for certain groups within society which
prevents them from being valued, looking at language, facts and myths etc.

such as the 1990 NHS and Community Care Act etc.
